Ok. I wasn't really talking about what is or isn't going on at any site or what is or has been observed. It wouldn't be possible (or very smart) for me to try to dispute someone's obvservations and personal experiences.
I was just trying to explain the theoretical logic, as I understood it, behind the claim that a poker site could increase buy-ins by setting up big show-downs with increased frequency.
So, not saying it would be a good (or feasible) idea or a bad idea - just that I think that is what people mean when they say that a tournament could be "rigged for action" even when there is no per-hand rake involved.

But in reality you basically never see that, I literally never have one time playing internet poker. So in an extreme situation they could set up enough action hand coolers to make a tournament end prematurely before the blinds dictate but the fact remains, when do you ever see that? Every single poker tournament I have ever played in has progressed based on the levels of the blinds. Thats not to say its impossible for a tourney to be so set up that it ends prematurely I'm just saying I have never seen it on any site or live, ever.
